Orion was fascinated by a new class of Transformers who had flight capabilities known as the Decepticons. The Decepticon Leader Megatron convinced Orion to let the Decepticons use the warehouse where he and Dion worked. Little did Orion know this was only a ruse to get at the valuable energon stockpiles that were being stored there. The Decepticons attacked the warehouse, and both Orion and Dion were severely wounded in the battle. When the Aerialbots set out to find help for their new friends they encounted Alpha Trion. Alpha Trion was able to rebuild Orion Pax into none other than Optimus Prime who would go on the become leader of the Autobots. Dion's fate wasn't so clear leading to much fan speculation.
In 2005 e-Hobby released Orion Pax and Dion as repaints of G1 Targetmaster Kup and G1 Wheelie. Kup's Targetmaster partner Recoil was renamed Barrelroller and included in the set.

Any quibbles about Kup not looking quite right for the part are tossed aside by the fact that you can actually combine this with Powermaster Op's/Ginrai's trailer to create Ginraion Primax!
That is somthing I do want to see!! Pics?

They shouldn't have the Autobot symbols on them, should they?

I agree with whoever said not to apply stickers to these rare redecos, and I don't think Orion had one in that spot in War Dawn (someone please prove me wrong if you've watched it recently), but Autobots were already wearing the former slave brand as a badge of honor by this point in the show, if that's what you mean.
And thanks to the Targetmaster hole, he can in fact tow PM Op's trailer, but I don't have a picture handy so I can't show off proof any more than I can show how he combines with it in super-mode...though all you do is set Orion's truck mode nose down and windshield forward so the legs are sticking up over the super-bot's back, then fold the bed a little so the hole is facing straight up and you can peg the huge Optimus/Jinrai head into it. It's not all that stable since Orion's just resting in there, but it does look neat enough to inspire an alternate timeline or two.

That is awesome. Where do you buy this? Don't tell me that is a hand made piece.
